The Latest: Pelosi says Trump “most afraid” of Schiff

an hour ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the House impeachment inquiry (all times local):

7:30 p.m.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Donald Trump and his Republican allies are “afraid” of the chief impeachment investigator, following a failed effort to censure him.

Pelosi said “the GOP has not even tried to deny the facts” of Trump’s pressure on Ukraine to investigate Democrats. In a statement, Pelosi added a stiff defense of Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, the “the person of whom the President is most afraid.”

She issued the statement after majority Democrats blocked a Republican effort to censure Schiff.

Schiff later tweeted that Republicans will be remembered for lacking the courage to confront Trump. So, he said, “they consoled themselves by attacking those who did.”

The famous picture that she later put up as a banner on her Twitter feed showed him cowering like a toddler caught with his hand in the cookie jar. She was clearly in charge and he knew it.

and some have decided to "retire" or not run for election in 2020. A few of the more intelligent Republicans are preparing for what is to come, and somehow try to save their party. That will be difficult because Trump is such a liar and a fool.
...After the 72 election when we lost by an incredible margin, there were many who stayed around to rebuild and hang in there no matter what. We survived and 4 years later elected Jimmy Carter as President. Trump demoralizes everyone, while McGovern was totally right about the Viet Nam War. It is hard to know what the future will be, because it is the future.

Results of 72 Presidential Election:
...............................................................................popular vote ....per cent......electoral vote
Richard Milhous Nixon (Incumbent) Republican California . 47,168,710.. 60.67% ..... 520
George Stanley McGovern Democratic South Dakota ....... 29,173,222... 37.52% ...... 17
